Chapter 18 Studying hard...
Bai Yanlan didn’t know what it meant to enter the Ten Thousand Races Academy, but that didn’t stop her from giving it 100% of her attention.
According to the information she got from Jin Qisheng and Lu Yaogui, the Ten Thousand Races Academy recruits the proudest of heaven. If they were placed in a small world, they would basically be like the sons of luck.
For human cultivators, the standard of the Ten Thousand Races Academy is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of sixteen, and it must be a perfect foundation after cultivating to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
As for spiritual beasts, no cultivation is required. What matters most is the degree of atavism. The higher the degree of atavism of the bloodline, the easier it will be to reach a higher level in the future.
Bai Yanlan was unsure of the extent of her atavism, and she didn't even know which ancestor she was atavizing. Her cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and she was still a long way from building a foundation.
When Lu Yaogui was fighting for a place for her, the reason he gave was that she practiced dual cultivation of spiritual energy, thus obtaining a place as a special student.
This is her only advantage.
The Ten Thousand Races Academy adopts an elimination system, and based on cultivation alone, she is likely to be among the first to be eliminated.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Bai Yanlan can use spiritual power and source power alternately, and has extremely strong endurance.
"In theory, the advantages of dual cultivation of spiritual energy are still very great." Jin Qisheng analyzed seriously. "Especially in single-player battles, or even round-robin battles, the advantages are obvious."
Although the four younger disciples became the master's disciples, they were basically brought up by him personally. He had extremely rich teaching experience, so the task of enlightening Bai Yanlan naturally fell to him.
"Source power focuses on strengthening the body for close combat, while spiritual cultivation focuses on magic and is good at long-range combat. If you can cultivate both, it is not impossible for you to defeat a foundation-building cultivator with your Qi Refining stage cultivation."
"But now that time is tight, I suggest you focus on one or two combat techniques first. Once you master them, it should be enough to cope with the early assessments of the academy."
"As for other things you want to learn, there is still a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Bai Yanlan nodded and said, "Okay."
"Since you have no objection, let's get started!" As he said that, Jin Qisheng taught Bai Yanlan three combat skills.
Bai Yanlan calmed down and looked at the three skills carefully. The first one was "Light and Shadow Body Skills", which focused on advancing and retreating as one wished, without leaving any trace. Even on a small arena, one could move around freely, advance to kill the enemy at close range in an instant, retreat to easily dodge all skills.
"Medicine Spirit Beasts are extremely flexible and have an advantage in speed. If you have good body movements, you can magnify this advantage." Jin Qisheng patiently explained why he chose these skills.
Bai Yanlan nodded silently. She knew nothing about combat spells, so it was always a good idea to listen to the advice of the boss.
The second skill is a defensive spell called "Golden Dragon Energy Shield", the Golden Dragon clan's innate magic, which uses energy to condense a defensive shield.
Speaking of the unique life treasures of spirit beasts...
Bai Yanlan asked casually, "Does the medicine spirit beast have its own life magic? What is it?"
Jin Qisheng frowned and asked back: "Are you asking me?"
Bai Yanlan: ...Just pretend I didn’t ask.
"There is very little information about medicinal spirit beasts. Even the Wanli Mizong does not have any records about your life-defining magic."
The only remaining information is a description of the appearance of the medicinal beast and the instructions for using the inner elixir.
Because the inner elixir of the medicine spirit beast was so special, they were hunted in large numbers almost as soon as the effect of the inner elixir was publicized. After a hundred years, it was difficult to see the medicine spirit beast again. Everyone rumored that the medicine spirit beast clan had become extinct.
"However, the life treasure technique is inherited through blood. When you awaken your bloodline one day, you will naturally know it."
Hearing this, Bai Yanlan could only gather his mind and focus on the third technique, "Chaos Blazing Flame".
"You are a Chaos Spiritual Root..."
"I have a Chaos Spiritual Root!!!" This made Bai Yanlan excited. This spiritual root is a top-level existence in many novels! This body is indeed suitable for cultivation.
"Hmm..." Jin Qisheng pondered for a moment, and considered the words of comfort: "You don't need to feel inferior. It is already very rare for a spirit beast to breed spirit roots on its own."
Chaos Spiritual Root = Need to be inferior???
"This...this spiritual root is not good?"
“It’s not bad.” Jin Qisheng said tactfully: “Among spiritual roots, it’s already the top one. However, all the people in Wanli Mizong started with immortal roots, and Master was born with divine roots and has divine nature.”
Bai Yanlan: ...Where is the cultivation genius you promised me? The system lied to me again!
“The total amount of spiritual power that can be stored in spiritual roots, immortal roots, and divine roots, as well as the energy that can be mobilized, are extremely different. Even if they are of the same level and use the same technique, the power that can be exerted is completely different.”
"But this is not set in stone. When you cultivate to the Immortal level, the spiritual roots in your body will naturally be promoted to Immortal roots. However, if you want to reach the strength level of a natural Immortal root of the same level, you will need to spend more effort and cultivation resources."
“As for the divine root, don’t even think about it. Even if you cultivate to the divine level or the saint level, you can’t be promoted to the divine root. That is not a gap that can be overcome by hard work.”
"So that's how it is..." Bai Yanlan suddenly realized.
Spiritual roots and immortal roots are like cars and airplanes. Cars are much slower, but if you work hard, spend more time and take more detours, you can still reach the same destination as airplanes.
But Shen Gen is a spaceship. Whether in terms of speed or destination, they are not on the same level, let alone catching up.
"Okay, there's no need to think about these useless things now. You should focus all your energy on combat spells first. Understanding and mastering the spells are equally important." Jin Qisheng reminded.
"If you want to be invincible, talent alone is not enough. The skills I gave you are quite profound. An ordinary genius can achieve proficiency after about a year of practice, and can achieve great success in three to five years."
"But you don't have that much time. I hope you can master at least two techniques before the academy starts." Jin Qisheng said seriously, "Of course, I will give you some guidance."
As soon as Jin Qisheng became serious, Bai Yanlan felt a heavy sense of oppression. She didn't dare to think about it anymore and nodded quickly: "Okay!"
Having said that, he immediately started to learn the three skills.
The skills taught by Jin Qisheng all come with notes. For some difficult-to-understand parts, he provides detailed guidance, so learning is not particularly difficult.
Perhaps he was really gifted in body movements, as he was able to successfully perform "Light and Shadow Body Movements" almost on the first try, but he had to continue practicing if he wanted to use it proficiently.
"Chaos Blazing Flame" was very compatible with her spiritual roots. After learning it several times, she could barely emit a small flame.
After all, the "Golden Dragon Energy Shield" is a cross-species innate magic technique, which is relatively difficult to learn. It took me most of the day to barely form an energy shield the size of a palm. It looks very thin and not very solid.
Looking at Jin Qisheng's expressionless face, Bai Yanlan didn't know what level of comprehension she had for a moment.
Forget it, let’s just practice quickly.
Bai Yanlan was immersed in studying the martial arts and did not notice the admiration in Jin Qisheng's eyes.
